DougH 270 #4 August 25, 2011 More likely a DZO order on that one... please stop farting in the Twin Otter, it makes the pilot upset and I am tired of hearing him bitch about it.

DanG 1 #6 August 25, 2011 QuoteWow. They are afraid that farting will offend the Afghans? People who wipe their asses with their hand? By our standards, most people in Afghanistan are filthy, smelly, and highly ungroomed. Farting is, on the other hand (no pun intended), considered about the most vile thing you can do with your body. A comparable level of nastiness in our culture might be eating your own toe jam during tea with the Queen, and then wiping your finger on her hat. I found this out by farting in front of a local warlord before a meeting one time. For the next eight months, whenever I came in the room he would stiffen up like a rabid dog just walked in and took a shit on the table. No one told us about it before we went over there, but it really is taboo. PS. They don't use their hands to wipe their asses directly, they use rocks or other debris. Of course, they mostly don't have running water, so if a little shit gets on your fingers, you just deal with it. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpsalot-2 3 #12 August 26, 2011 I wonder if they follow the same " He who smelt it, dealt it " rules. They are only human, and are likely to blame it on the other guy ( or girl )....... Life is short ... jump often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
